In Brikwars, several different sizes of battles take place, ranging from skirmishes to apocalyptic crusades. They are organized into different levels of intensity. The category a battle fits into isn't just to do with points values, but what kind of units are used and objectives, take what you see below as a rough guide. Links provided are just a sample of battles, many more exist buried withing the tens of thousands of posts on the brikwars forums, have gone un-reported, are hosted on brickshelf, mocpages, personal sites, Nelug and more dark corners of the internet or lost.
